Shut the door on yesterday
Bring down the lightning in a jar
Proud Mary wheels so proudly rolling
Long after daytime ends
How do you like to celebrate
Now this fire's embers and ash?
Blue heron echo down the motorway
Says, "Can we make this night last?"
'Cause every traveling show
Needs a host with the most
Who can conjure a bed from a couch
"If it's a wrestling pin
That the world's got you in
Well, you'd better have yourself a friend
Yeah, when your lights go out"
"Tomorrow's out of my range
Here now is all there is to know
We shut the door on yesterday
Here at this traveling show
Tomorrow's out of my range
Here now is all there is to know
We shut the door on yesterday
Here at this traveling show"
